Silhouette typically is held back a little longer than most Chards, which seems to soften it slightly. Still, the ’03 is as fresh and pure in fruit as a young wine. It brims with ripe green apple butter, pineapple custard, butterscotch and spicy rum flavors that are well-oaked, and has none of the herbaceousness that often marks Napa Valley Chardonnay.
